3. Discussion Re: Donation Bins.
Barry Brown advised that the City is beginning to see an increase in the number on donation
bins and it may be the time to develop regulations for permitting, placement, number, and
nature. Staffs research of other local cities revealed that Cocoa is the only City that regulates
donation bins. The Board members reviewed and discussed that ordinance. Citizens in the
audience agreed that donation bins should not be allowed on A1A. The Board requested that
Staff extend their research outside the local area and report back to the Board with its findings.
